I think this restaraunt had so much potential! It is something different, something unique. The atmosphere of sitting on the floor, eating with your fingers, it's such an experience. It could be so great! How dissapointing it was and it all has to do with the owner of the establishment. We purchased a groupon, $25 for 2 for a 6 course meal! What an amazing price! The restaurant is a little pricey (which goes hand in hand with the experience) so I thought this was a great deal! Well at the end of the night the owner wouldn't honor what the groupon said. He charged us extra and it ended up being about the same as if we hadn't even had the groupon ($65). There were a lot of couples there that were having the same problem, showing him their groupon and we were all upset. I ordered a glass of wine and noticed there were floating things in it. I assumed it was some bits of the cork. I took and sip and when I looked closer it was FULL of bugs! I told my server and she took the wine back. The owner came back out and served me a sip of wine at the table. Unapologetically he asked if I ""liked this wine better"". He didn't even apologize or acknowledge what had just happened. And there was NO discount. In fact he added a larger tip to our table (that was supposed to only be for parties of 6 or more). I glanced over at another table and she also had bugs in her wine. So this happened to more people than just me. He should not be a business owner and was so concerned and stingy about money it was not an enjoyable experience. There are so many other restaurants in this area that are so much better for a better price. AND I would rather go to a restaurant that serves clean food....I have serious doubts about the cleanliness and freshness of the food that they serve. I wouldn't be suprised if it was someone else's old wine they just saved or left the bottle uncorked. I never leave bad reviews for a place and I try and be positive but I want to warn people, because for the price, it was a terrible experience. I don't think this is a good restaurant to eat at....cool environment but not work $65 for the environment. Please choose somewhere else to eat!
